What

Before running a shell command, Claude Code reads it to decide whether it is simple enough to judge safe automatically. It now treats ! directly followed by ( inside a [[ ]] test (the shell's condition syntax) as too complex. The reason it gives is that zsh reads !( in [[ ]] as part of a word.

Commands containing this are no longer treated as simple.

Why

zsh reads this pattern differently from how Claude Code read it, so a command could mean something other than what was checked. Such commands should now prompt you for permission.
